"Yes," Isodel smiled faintly as the children curled up against her side. Pack. That was the word. The feeling it conjured was of warmth, of people who loved one another and cared for them. People who would die for one another. Now she had put a name to it it brought back a memory. "Come in...

Absent-mindedly she nodded once more to Snowflake when the women queried it, though her mind was on the explanation of 'girlfriend' and what that had done to the young wolf. There was an odd sense of... kinship she felt towards him when it was explained; heartbreak drove people like them into...

The feral leopard in the skin of a girl stood rigid as the pack introduced themselves. Every instinct within her screamed to turn and run right now. Not only was she in a cave with a group of predators who were Pack and thus could kill her easily if they wished, but seeing them altogether as...

It had been... too long since Isodel had looked at the world with human eyes. On their trek into the mountains sights, sounds and smells that would have passed her by as a leopard were suddenly things she needed to stop for and appreciate. The scent of a frostrose in bloom, the sounds of eagles...

Isobel returned the nod with Fallon respectfully but when the small girl did the same she only smiled curiously. Was this little one the next alpha? She could smell potential on her but she was young and had many paths yet to cross on her journey. Her eyes lingered on the young ones for a while...

Isodel sat back and licked the blood from around her mouth as she watched the children pouncing on one another in the snow. Her head listed to the side and there was clear amusement in the depths of her wisteria eyes. Those same eyes moved to Fallon when she spoke. Her tail flicked and a small...

It was too easy to fall back into the ways of the leopard. As she stalked her muscles rolled and her fur bristled then lay flat as though she were shrugging into a coat. By the time they reached the little meadow where the scent was the strongest she moved once more like the feline she had...

Fallon's offer was a branch towards Isodel as she battled against a raging river of emotions and memories. They came at her in a haphazard fashion out of place in time and some she thought might have even been dreams and not real. They were from her younger years. Those odd fuzzy things children...

Everything was so much colder, crisper, clearer out of the skin of the leopard. She could still feel her clawing at her mind and coaxing her to come back into the warm embrace of ignorance. As Fallon spoke the wild child looked up sharply. Despite her change of bodies her mannerisms were still...

"It's time to come back, darling," her mother was crouched in the snow, hand tentatively stretched out towards the young and nervous feline. The leopard had a wild look in its eyes, torn between feeling for the snows where its instinct called her and listening to the voice inside of her that...

This was... strange. This touch. But the more the girl ran her hands through her fur the more she realised she had been craving it to the point of distress. She felt like a creature who had been starved or who had walked for miles with no hint of water. Her eyes were practically closed in bliss...

The leopards eyes darted towards the source of the sound and watched with mounting parts dread and curiosity as the girl approached her. The animal thinking in that rational way it usually did told her limbs to move. Adults were more protective when their young were near and any movement that...

The large cats ears swivelled from left to right in an anxious cycle as it attempted to determine whether the group in front of them were the only ones in the area. She had smelt their scent for the past mile growing steadily stronger which she had taken to mean that they were passing through...

Keep moving. The growl of the leopards voice had issued the same command for years now and it had kept her alive. She knew better than to disobey and yet... and yet that familiarity was scratching at a door she had kept locked within the vaults of her mind for years. It made her hesitate. Her...

The freshly fallen snow crunched and partially crumbled beneath the weight of her paws. Despite how delicate she strove to be the latest snowfall was a thin powder that shifted at the barest touch. It made her progress slow and her patience even thinner. The snow leopard knew she needed to leave...
